Vassfjell Chapel (Norwegian: Vassfjellkapellet) is a chapel in Klæbu municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in a rural area northeast of the mountain Vassfjellet, about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) west of the village of Tanem. There is no direct road access to the chapel, but there is a 1-kilometre (0.62 mi) long hiking path from a parking lot located on the road to the north. It is an annex church for the Klæbu parish which is part of the Heimdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1974 by the architect students Steinar Romedal, Jan Oddvar Hareide, I. Tolo, and O. Holen. The church was consecrated by the Bishop Tord Godal on 4 March 1974.[1][2]
